Missing a Filing Deadline? How 1 Hour Legal Couriers Protect Las Vegas Law Firms
It is 4:15 PM on a Friday. The Regional Justice Center clerk's office closes at 5:00 PM sharp. Your associate just discovered that the original summons, signed and notarized and ready to file, is still sitting on their desk in Downtown Las Vegas. The client is waiting for proof of service to proceed with a temporary restraining order. The deadline is absolute. Miss it, and the case could be dismissed. Sanctions could follow. The client's trust could be broken.
For Las Vegas attorneys, this is not a hypothetical stress dream. It is a recurring reality. In the legal profession, deadlines are measured in minutes, not days. When the clock is ticking, a 1 hour legal courier is not a convenience. It is malpractice insurance.
The 5 Most Common Legal Deadline Emergencies
Last Minute Court Filing
A motion, response, or complaint needs to be stamped "filed" before the clerk's office closes. The partner is still reviewing it at the office in Summerlin.
Service of Process Deadline
The statute of limitations expires at midnight. The summons and complaint must be served today. Your documents are at your desk in Spring Valley.
Notarization and Filing
A client just signed critical documents. They need notarization and immediate filing. Your notary is at your Downtown office. The filing deadline is in 90 minutes.
Federal Court Deadlines
Your opposition brief is ready, but you are stuck in mediation at a firm in Henderson.
Multi Office Coordination
Your firm has offices in Summerlin, Downtown, and Henderson. The final signature is at one location. The filing is at another.
Urgent Record Retrieval
The court needs certified copies by 4:30 PM. Your runner is stuck in traffic.

Real Law Firm Success Story
"We had a TRO application that needed to be filed by 4:30 PM to secure an emergency hearing the next morning. The partner made revisions until 4:00 PM. We called Lake Mead Mobile Notary at 4:05 PM. Their courier was at our Downtown office by 4:12 PM and delivered to the courthouse at 4:28 PM. The $110 rush fee was a fraction of what we would have lost if the TRO had not been filed."
— Sarah L., Litigation Partner
